Stargate Universe premiere date PLUS new gate room photos
Although I wasn't happy that Stargate Atlantis was canceled - some may say that it was canned to make room for this series, but whatever the case, I admit, I'm very excited for Stargate Universe. It's more of a contained excitement because I'm still a little skeptical but I love the franchise VERY much, so I hope it's successful.
We've known for a while that the series has been filming its first season episodes for the past few months and now, thanks to Gateworld.net, the SyFy Channel has announced the premiere date.
Friday October 2nd, 2009 - The pilot, titled "Air", premieres at 9pm Eastern and Pacific, 8pm Central for a two hour event. Also, October 9th, Amanda Tapping's (SG-1) Sanctuary returns for an all new season. Here's the press release for Stargate Universe:
Syfy’s upcoming one-hour series, Stargate Universe follows a band of soldiers, scientists and civilians, who must fend for themselves as they are forced through a Stargate when their hidden base comes under attack. The desperate survivors emerge aboard an ancient ship, which is locked on an unknown course and unable to return to Earth. Faced with meeting the most basic needs of food, water and air, the group must unlock the secrets of the ship’s Stargate to survive. The danger, adventure and hope they find on board the Destiny will reveal the heroes and villains among them.
Set to premiere in October 2009 with a two-hour special, the series stars Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting, The Full Monty), Lou Diamond Phillips (Che, La Bamba), Ming-Na (ER, Vanished), Alaina Huffman, Louis Ferreira, David Blue, Jamil Walker Smith and Brian J. Smith with special guest stars, Grammy nominated recording artist, Janelle Monáe, Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks, Gary Jones and Carlo Rota.
Edgier and younger in tone, Stargate Universe will take the franchise in a dynamic new direction, appealing to longtime Stargate fans and first-time viewers alike. The two-part premiere is being directed by Andy Mikita (Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1) and lensed by Rohn Schmidt (The Shield, The Mist). Robert Cooper and Brad Wright, of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, serve as executive producers and writers on the new series. Stargate Universe is distributed by MGM Worldwide Television Distribution.
Along with the premiere date and the press release also comes a first look at the brand new gate room and Stargate. Again, thanks to Gateworld.net. To see the full gallery, click the photo.
